Interface Mapping - 'Response' tab missing

[Former Member]

hi,

In the interface mapping creating a new IM. Can see the "Request" tab, but the "Response" tab in not visible in the screen. Shouldn't this be an available option or do i need to activate it anywhere??

Hi Manpreet,

As said by Suraj,you need to construct two sync interfaces : one pertaining to the request and the other response.Then construct a two mappings for the request and the response.

Finally while creating the interface mapping you will get both the tabs.

Hi Manpreet,

The Response TAB is visible when you are doing a <i>'Synchronous Scenario'</i>,

In a Sycnhronous scenario you create your message interfaces as Synchronous Interfaces i.e. the message delivery is 'Best Effort' and not Exactly once.

While performing interface mapping in a Synchronous Scenario you get the <i>Response</i> TAB.

I hope it helps,

Hi Manpreet,

If you are doing Interface Mapping between two Synchronous Interface, then only the <b>Response tab</b> will be visible. If both or any one of the interface is Asynchronous then only the <b>Request tab</b> will be visible.

Suraj,

Thanks for the reply. I was actually following this weblog by Arpit.

RFC Scenario using BPM - Starter Kit

/people/arpit.seth/blog/2005/06/27/rfc-scenario-using-bpm--starter-kit

In his screenshots for Interface Mapping, both the tabs are visible when he describes the request and response mapping. That caused some confusion.

Hi Manpreet,

One of his interface (FileDetails_Sync_AI) is synchronous and the other is a RFC(BAPI_COMPANY_GETDETAIL). And RFC is synchronous.

Hi

The Interface mapping is having both Request and Response tabs becoz the <b>Sender interface</b>(FileDetails_Sync_AI) which i am including is <b>Synchronous</b> one as well as the reciever side is RFC(BAPI_COMPANY_GETDETAIL)(which is synchronous).

Hope it help u to understand.

Arpit,

A little confused. So from all the message interface that i have defined (as per your weblog), which ones would i use in Interface Mapping. The "FileDetails_Sync_AI" interface does not seem to be part of your weblog message interfaces.

Basically how would i proceed after i have defined all the message interfaces.

Arpit,

Sorry about that. Figured it out - was actually using the wrong interface. Thanks for your help.
